Inventor: FREDERICK BART
IPC: G01N33/15
Filed: 1997-11-13
Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of assessing the effect of "anti-platelet" agents, which affect the activation state of platelets, by monitoring levels of membrane bound and/or soluble P-selectin in a sample from an individual. In one embodiment, levels of P-selectin are monitored in a sample containing platelets (e.g., a blood sample, platelet rich plasma (PRP)) using an assay for membrane bound P-selectin. In another embodiment, levels of P-selectin are measured in a sample from which platelets have been removed (e.g., platelet poor plasma (PPP), serum), using an assay for soluble P-selectin. Another aspect of the invention includes measuring both membrane bound and soluble P-selectin to monitor platelet activation for patients who are receiving anti-platelet therapy. The method is useful for monitoring the effect of anti-platelet therapy on platelet activation state as reflected in membrane bound and/or soluble P-selectin levels. Anti-platelet therapy can be adjusted accordingly to maintain a desired level of platelet activation. In another aspect, the invention relates to a method of assessing the effect of a vascular intervention, and of coronary artery interventions in particular, on platelet activation state comprising determining the level of soluble P-selectin in a sample. Anti-platelet therapy can be initiated or adjusted in order to achieve a basal activation state, or other desired platelet activation state.

Title: Non-symmetrical or graduated bulge and roll for golf club drivers and woods
Inventor: SWIST JASON
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 1999-08-30
Abstract: Currently all golf club drivers and woods incorporate some degree of bulge and roll on the face of the club to counteract the known gear effect caused by off center square contact, unfortunately current designs provide for a very small ideal, (ie: flat), contacting surface in the middle of the club face. The proposed invention provides for an enlarged, flatter, ball contacting surface in the middle of the club face with a bulge and/or roll angle applied only towards the extremity of the toe and the heel, while at the same time eliminating any roll in the vertical plane, increasing the ideal contact area while providing for improved compensation for the known gear effect when the ball is hit

Title: Establishing telecommunication connections
Inventor: LINDBERG MIKAEL
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1998-03-02
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device for switching user data, belonging to a connection, between different time slots in a switch or a switch stage such that sequence and frame integrity are preserved. According to the invention, an efficient algorithm is utilized for determining distribution information, in form of storage positions in one or more control memories in the switch. User data is caused to be switched, according to this distribution information from the algorithm, such that these user data maintain the same reciprocal time order through the switch or switch stage. The distribution information determined by the algorithm assures sequence integrity and at the same time minimizes the delay of user data through the switch and/or switch stage. The algorithm also generates control information in form of delay values for delaying some user data such that data belonging to incoming time slots in one and the same frame are assigned to outgoing time slots in the same frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for implementing transmission in a mobile network in which base stations (BTS) communicate through a transmission network with a base station controller (BSC) and through a radio path with mobile stations (MS). In order that the transmission of the fixed part of the mobile network may be implemented in a simpler way than heretofore, a common transmission link (TL) is established between several base stations and their common base station controller, a combining network element (41, 42) being located at least at one point of the transmission link, in which network element signals arriving from different base stations are combined in a time slot basis for incorporation into the time slots of the frame structure used on the transmission link in such a way that the signal of the base station to which the time slot in question is allocated passes through the network element unchanged. Channels are allocated from the frame of the common transmission link (TL) for the use of the radio channels dynamically in such a way that any one of several different radio channels can use a specific channel on the transmission link.

IPC: H04B7/185
Filed: 1998-03-31
Abstract: A radio communication system (5) includes a transmitting unit (1) coupled to at least one controller (6). The controller (6) is adapted to subdivide the SCR's (selective call receivers) (2) into SCR groups, assign the SCR groups to supergroups, and assign a selected number of message frames (216) and message intervals (208) to each SCR group in each supergroup. A supergroup is then selected, and included in an acquisition group message. The supergroup is for directing SCR's (2) targeted to receive the acquisition group message to monitor messages during the message reception interval (203) according to the supergroup. The controller (6) then invokes the transmitting unit (1) to transmit the acquisition group message to the SCR's (2). Messages target for specific SCR's (2) are then generated, and transmitted by way of the transmitting unit (1) according to the supergroup selected. The targeted SCR's (2) receive the messages according to the supergroup received.

Abstract: An extrusion process and apparatus is described for the manufacture of a thermoplastic resin-filler composite product having a desired resin-filler mixture comprised of 60-20% by weight of a thermoplastic resin and 40-80% by weight of a filler. A resin-filler mixture, in homogeneous form, is extruded through a die at a temperature above the softening point of the resin to form an extrudate having a desired cross-sectional shape. The extrudate is then passed through a die land at a temperature of above the softening point. From the die land the extrudate is cooled in a cooled shaper and transferred thereto through a thermal barrier insert member which is disposed in contact between the die land and the cooled shaper whereby radial pressure to counteract radial expansion tendencies of the extrudate is maintained during the passage. The cooled shaper cools the extrudate to a temperature of about at least 20ÀC below the softening point of the resin. A lubricant is applied to the exterior surface of the extrudate prior to feeding the extrudate to the cooled shaper.
